Imagine, for a moment, that Aziraphale comes back to Earth.
He's returned for more reason than one. Mainly, he's returned because he's discovered something - some crucial piece of information about the Second Coming - and he now knows how to stop Heaven from once again attempting to end everything...but he needs Crowley's help to do it.
And also, though he's terrified to know the answer, Aziraphale needs to find out whether or not he and Crowley are...repairable...
So he returns to Earth and he seeks out the demon, but he can't find him anywhere. Muriel insists he hasn't been back to the bookshop since that day. His Mayfair landlord insists he never returned after that other scary lady left. Neither Nina nor Maggie admit to having seen him, though the disappointment in their eyes does suggest they may not have told Aziraphale even if they did know...
Aziraphale isn't scared for Crowley's life because he knows he's here on Earth, somewhere. He can feel the demon, if only ever-so-slightly... He's here somewhere; Aziraphale just doesn't know bloody where.
So he does the only thing he can think of, though every atom of his angelic essence screams at him that it is blasphemy of the highest order: he prays. He prays to Crowley.
It takes a few minutes - a few minutes during which Aziraphale's heart works hard not to shatter - but then he's there, appearing silently behind Aziraphale in a rush of essence that is so wonderfully, uniquely him.
Aziraphale doesn't know whether or not to smile as he turns; isn't sure whether or not he does. He's too distracted by how...good Crowley looks. Good and a bit...different. He's dressed far more casually than Aziraphale's ever seen him do, the baggy black t-shirt tucked into his jeans on one hip but spilling out over the other. His hair is longer, un-styled, falling messy around his ears and across his forehead. He isn't wearing any glasses. Neither his eyes nor his expression give away a single thing.
He's so...perfect.
He also isn't saying a thing, and after a long silence Aziraphale realizes that it's up to him to do so. For some reason what comes out first is, "Where were you? I couldn't find you."
Something about those words make a ripple of...something...go through Crowley, but he ultimately ignores the question, blatantly asks what Aziraphale wants.
Aziraphale explains everything. Begs Crowley to help. Suddenly isn't so confident that Crowley will help...
But Crowley does, of course he does, because regardless of what has happened between them, Crowley does not want the world to end. Crowley has never wanted the world to end.
It's hard, working together again. Things are tense. Uncomfortable. Aziraphale hates it so much, and imagines that Crowley feels the same. He wants to get this over with so that things can stop being so-
But part of him never wants it to end, because when it does then what does that mean for-?
Things happen.
Good things. Bad things. Painful things. Words are said, taken back, said differently. In the end they've both got a lot to be angry about, and also a lot to be sorry for. Aziraphale realizes that, somewhere along the line while he was in Heaven, Crowley has learned how to live without him. He's proud of Crowley for that, happy for him, even.
Miserable for himself.
It isn't until it's all over that Aziraphale asks the question again. He isn't entirely sure why he asks it. It's just...something to steal a few more moments together before Crowley inevitably walks away from him.
"Where were you? When I couldn't find you?"
Crowley's eyes have softened again while they've been working together. He looks at Aziraphale now, and there's a lot there that wasn't there before. Aziraphale doesn't know whether he could translate it all if given the rest of eternity.
He thinks, perhaps, that Crowley is going to wave the question off, tell him to mind his own damned business.
Instead, after a long moment and an anxious bobbing of his throat, Crowley asks, "Would you like to see?"
Aziraphale nods. Closes his eyes at Crowley's request.
When he opens them again, his heart erupts.
They are in a garden. A magnificent garden. Not the Garden, but something somehow so much better. It is wild and free, verdant greens interspersed with bursts of color in every conceivable shade. It is chaos, but beautiful chaos that has an ineffable kind of order to it all the same. It sprawls and stretches, leaves and sprigs and petals dancing in the soft breeze. It reminds Aziraphale, irresistibly, of a nebulae he once watched being born...
"Oh Crowley...it's...it's..."
It is a great many things - it's everything. But what it also is, Aziraphale realizes once his initial awe has tapered slightly, is surrounding a lovely little cottage with a porch swing designed for two.
Aziraphale doesn't have to ask the question that's bubbling up in his chest so desperately that it's painful; he can already see the answer in Crowley's uncovered eyes. He can see the strength refusing to be beaten down any further, as well as the pain seeking to be soothed. He sees the way Crowley's gaze lingers on the swing before the demon heaves a great, exhausted sigh and turns to the angel with a small, hopeful smile.
"You can stay at mine," Crowley says in the softest possible voice. "If you like."
And Aziraphale knows that he's crying, but the tears streaking his face and rolling over his tentative smile are the absolute last thing in the world that he gives a damn about.
"I think I'd like that. Very much."

Vash and Wolfwood's infomations from an interview with Nightow (Trigun's author)
Tumblr media
Vash's Profile  Height: I haven't decided. But he's around 180 cm (5.9 ft) (5'11")
Name's origin : Stampede is a nickname/ street name. It means 'runaway cattle'.
Change in hair color: There is a reason. But I can't tell you yet.
Coat's weight: Not sure. It would be quite light so he can run and move in various ways.
Vision: Pretty good. His visual acuity is also good. Plus, his ability to make last-minute decisions in times of crisis and his reflexes to make the most out of close chances are what keep him alive. It's not like he has supernatural powers.
Living expenses: He also works as a bodyguard, etc... So I guess that's how he earns his daily money. It's stable and he doesn't use money wastefully.
How long it takes to get dressed: I haven't decided on that. Since he wears those clothes every day, wouldn't it be pretty fast?
Tumblr media
Wolfwood's Profile
Height: Not sure. But he is a little taller than Vash. About 1 to 2 cm taller (about 1 inches).
Name's origin: It's a pun. Tortoise Matsumoto is the model, so the name came from Ulfuls. The D in his middle name stands for "ドコノクミノモン ジャワレスマキニシテシズメタロ カコラ"(Dokonokuminomon Jawaresu Makinishi Teshizu Metallo Kakora) (laughs) TL Note: I think what he meant is the "Wolf" in WW's name (ウルフウッド) came from Ulfuls (ウルフルズ) - a Japanese rock band (The aforementioned Tortoise Matsumoto is the vocalist of the band) as a reference. The middle name, D, is "Where (D)o you belong?" It is an abbreviation of "Dokono~" in English. Smoking amount per day: I don't know. Well, I was thinking he would smoke a lot. But cigarettes seem expensive, so he might be smoking with a toothpick/stick.
Clothing (light clothing): The reason for the simple clothes is because it's would be hard to draw him holding the cross otherwise. The cross alone can make him stand out.
Dialect (he speaks in the Kansai dialect in Japanese): Since they are in an English-speaking setting, he is not actually speaking the Kansai dialect. Please think of it as an accent expression.
Gun's name: Punisher. Are you punishing the enemy or yourself?
Gun's weight: I feel like it weighs over a hundred-something kgs (> 240lbs). He carries it well. He must have great balance to be able to wield/swing it.
The size of the gun: about 170 cm (5.6 ft) (5'7") on the long side?
How long it takes to rewrap the cloth after using the gun: Not sure. I guess he would have to pick up the cloth, rewrap it, and carefully fasten it with belts. In order to look cool, you have to work on the little things.

Happy Mother's Day! I'm full of feels because Rem taught Vash and Knives how to cook (because of course she did, she's a good mom, they are her boys, she did her best to do right by them)
Tumblr media
And not only does Vash still appear to make the stir fry she taught him 150-some years later....
Tumblr media
It's the first thing he makes to eat after he buries Wolfwood, knowing that he needs to eat to have enough strength to carry on in Wolfwood's memory. It's his comfort food. Everything is going so fucking tragic, and the first thing he makes is the stir fry Rem taught him.
Tumblr media
(If you're hankering to feel even sadder, guess what! That panel where Rem's teaching them to cook? That's *after* they find Tessla's body, and Rem is desperately trying to give them some return to normalcy and joy.)

About the musical themes in Stampede!
Tumblr media
I just love how in the Stampede soundtrack, the TRIGUN STAMPEDE theme is very chaotic and diverse, very much like Vash himself and the livestyle he chose. It even has a rap section included, and if that isn't a great way to hype up a character then I don't know what it is.
Knives' though? Very orderly, grand and classically inspired. It repeats his motif time after time, almost obsessively. It piles layers after layers until you're left with this enormous wave of sound that's just amazing. I think it represents his logical and cold headed demeanor very well.
The show creates a very noticiable contrast between the twins, not just visually with their character designs, but also musically, both carrying a distinctive sound with them. They couldn't be more different and I just love those little details.

Can we appreciate and analyze how impeccable Vash’s skills as a marksman is bc I hadn't noticed anyone talk about it in length and this gif literally drives me insane:
Tumblr media
Content warning: mentions guns / gun and shooting below the cut because otherwise this analysis would be moot.
This is coming from someone who used to only shoot air rifles for sport like how you'd see it in the Olympics with paper targets!
Ok so as I’ve said I've shot guns before (not at anyone ya sickos) and believe me when I say that Vash has such a good steady aim his arm doesn’t even bend when he moves it - he moves it from the shoulder/ his waist to keep that arm straight and relaxed as possible, which is crazy because that gun looks like a BRICK made of solid metal. There's no way that thing is light, there's definitely some weight to it, but the way he moves it is smoother than most people I've seen lift a credit card.
Now it’s not unusual in sport to have at least some tiny weight on the end of the barrel to keep it steady and act as a counterbalance but that’s like Olympics, not a fight. Vash may be superhuman but I don’t think carrying a cross like the Punisher would make fighting any easier, so it’s safe to say holding a decently heavy chunk of metal filled with lead isn’t easy either (I’m pretty sure the humans we’ve seen so far held their guns with two hands either due to weight or stability and they're not so smooth anyways).
So him tracking someone with a gun like that in only ONE HAND is kind of impressive even at that close range bc it doesn't matter how many times you hit your mark, your barrel would NOT be as steady as Vash in that gif unless you're this gif of Kobeni from CSM:
Tumblr media
Even that scene in episode 3 when Vash is aiming at Knives (which I can’t find a good gif of) he doesn’t move the barrel at ALL until he has to lift it and follow Knives’ head. No shaking, no wobble, not even the SLIGHTEST figure 8 you’d normally get when you aim down a barrel - it’s a smooth turn of his wrists following Knives’ head up.
And that’s all from EXPERIENCE. Look at the two gifs below:
Tumblr media Tumblr media
You can literally see how much he’s improved since he lost his arm - he’s expectantly super wobbly compared to the last gif in episode 2. He notably doesn’t “force” the gun to stay in one spot and aim where it needs to be - he raises it then let’s it “settle” on where he’s aiming to shoot before firing. A good shooter knows how to aim and take the shot before they lose the target w/o moving (called “following through”), but a great marksman knows that when it comes to shooting you should never fight against the body’s natural tendencies to move the way it wants to even when you’re aiming at something because you’re less likely to wobble or move when your body is relaxed and comfortable. Moving it away from that position will cause you to quiver and inevitably try to return to that same comfortable position against your will. That’s not just something you pick up on naturally - you have to LEARN that shit.
Which means Vash literally took the time to either completely unlearn every single one of his body’s natural ticks in order to shoot like a pro OR he learned how to work along with each one so his aim was always on point. Either way, it took him 150 years of practice to reach that level and it definitely paid off for him I think!
There’s a bunch of other ticks I noticed, too, like him keeping his trigger finger on the side of the gun if he’s not aiming to shoot anything in that moment but still has the gun in his hand so he doesn't accidentally misfire:
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Or how he never keeps one eye closed bc the twitching WILL make you shake and lose focus so he always keeps both eyes open when aiming so he sees better:
Tumblr media
But this post is long enough as is and I think we all get the idea that he’s that fricking good at using a gun.
TL;DR Studio Orange did a fantastic job convincing me that Vash is an INSANELY GOOD marksman and this is coming from someone who used to shoot air rifles for sport and had an incredible coach who would also agree with me and say this guy’s aim is surreal if he ever watched this show. Also his reload speed is absolutely demonic too like what the actual hell-
Tumblr media
EDIT: added that scene from episode 3 just to show you guys what I meant (sorry it's low quality but you get it!!! Also the fact he's keeping his finger on the trigger bc he knows how unpredictable Knives is and could strike him down at any moment just shows how confident he is at keeping his hand steady bc if he were shaking he would DEFINITELY have misfired by now).

hello! i wrote a short story for the art. enjoy reading!
Sun shone high in the sky as in the middle of summer and below was the sea. It was quiet. Only two human figures disturbed it peace and serenity. They walked along it and spoke loudly.
"Gren, let me go." - Steel asked disgrutled the demon. She didn't want anyone to crry her because she could walk on her own.
"No, I will not let you go." - Graniel grinned cheerfully. He wanted to take care of his friend because he rarely succeeded. - "The water is cold here and you can get sick."
"I won't get sick. You know I rarely get sick."
"Rarely but right on target. Would you like to get sick from a little herb hike?"
"No." - Steel looked away reluctanly admitting defeat. A small inland could be seen in the distance. - "When it's dry let me go."
"Okey, a little witch." - The demon smiled but she didn't see it and they continued in their way.

💫 archngel seraphiel 💫
seraphiel was engaged in leadership over the creator angels but after the creation of man he was transferrad to assistants of the archangels. he is now on small errands and has moved to aziraphale's place after-the-not-happened-apocalypse.
the archangel in heaven behaves with restrain and detachment preferring the loneliness of the company of angels but on earth he is sociable and cheeky with people. he doesn't like heaven for their rules but he has learned to get around them. seraphiel is fond of social events. he loves gathering places - art galleries, theaters, cinemas and whatnot. creativity os his path but he himself can't create things, therefore he enjoys all their types.

Laz or in another way Sagebrush residies in the Nothern Clan.
This clan exists in the game CatWar. My AU was taken from there.
"Laz was found in the snowy mountains after a blizzard. Until the age of 3 he lived in a clan shelter. Then a family of Wizat (?) and Icemoon (?) took him into care. When he was 6 y. o. Laz become a pupil. And then he graduated at the age of 15. Sagebrush's about 20 for references.
Laz is a quiet & calm cat. Unlike most he loves solitude but at the same time don't feel lonely. When no one sees he sings or draw. But Laz isn't very good at fighting skills."
Perhaps in the future I will make a comic of his life.
